Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl Patch 1.5 releases in a few weeks with new guns, mod support and more

Over the past period, the latest updates for GSC Game World’s Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl have been consistently rolling out at a rapid pace. As GSC proceeds with their extensive Q2 2025 plan, the Ukrainian development team is preparing to launch the survival game’s upcoming significant update.

As a gamer, I’m pumped about the upcoming update that introduces two fresh weapons to my arsenal: a brand-new pistol and an early-game rifle! This update is also promising bug squashes and gameplay enhancements. Although the developers haven’t set a specific release date yet, they’ve given us a general timeframe for when we can expect it.

Stalker 2 Patch 1.5 will release in a few weeks

On the game’s main Discord platform, GSC Game World communicated to fans that a significant update for the game is due within the upcoming weeks. The developers themselves have stated that this major update will be launched in the latter part of June.

The developer mentioned that Patch 1.5 is expected to be rolled out around the latter half of June.

In addition to the introduction of the new firearms, the Stalker 2 Patch 1.5 will also enhance the existing A-Life dynamics within the game. Although the AI soldiers in the game have significantly advanced since its rocky debut, there’s still much room for further refinements.

Moreover, the upcoming update is expected to introduce the beta version of the ModKit SDK for enthusiasts. At present, modders have developed challenging variations of the game and enhanced A-Life features, however, they are not yet capable of creating extensive campaigns. The introduction of the game’s ModKit is intended to resolve this issue.

The rest of the improvements for the game’s Q2 roadmap are as follows

  • Mutant Loot
  • Shader Compilation Skip
  • Player Stash Window Increase
  • Further stabilisation, optimisation and anomalies fixing

According to their Q2 plan, the team at GSC Game World, responsible for Stalker 2, also intends to create a roadmap for Q3 and Q4. This will ensure continued fixes and enhancements in the game during these periods. Moreover, they’re actively developing expansions that promise a unique outlook on the game world, which is truly thrilling.
